One of my favorite Christmas gifts this season was an awesome snapshot scanner!
www.amazon.com/Pandigital-Photolink-One-Touch-PANSCN06-8-5-Inch/dp/B0035WTCU4/ref=wl_it_dp_o?ie=UTF8&coliid=I1X8LO6IA33UIE&colid=ZECO4GM8M2UG
I have the traditional flat-bed scanner, but it is a pain in the arse; software is slow, the bulb needs to warm up, saving is a baroque process, etc. etc.....
But this tiny little device, about the size of a cardboard tube left over after you've used up all the paper towels, is slicker than snot on a doorknob. It will scan a photo in about 10 seconds, and save it to a memory card... no computer needed! Then you pop the card into your computer, and BANG, your snapshots are digitized.
I've got about a dozen shoe-boxes full of old photos (I suspect most of us do), and I'm working my way through them. This thing is AWESOME! For about a hundred bucks, you get to recapture your entire pre-digital life.
All my thumbs are up on this one.......Jake
